Some tips about the project:

This was my first scala, play, redis project. Therefore it is only the shape of it but I clearly learned some tricks. Have a non blocking application is not quite easy. You need to learn some scala tricks : Future, for-comprehension structure, Either. Not sure I myself have totally understand it. But it was Fun trying!
